In this study the penetration distance of liquid phase fuel(i. e. liquid phsae length) was investigated in evaporative field. An exciplex fluorescence method was applied to the evaporative fuel spray to measure and investigate both the liquid and the vapor phase of the injected spray. For accurate investigation, images of the liquid and vapor phase regions were recorded using a 35㎜ still camera and CCD camera, respectively. Liquid fuel was injected from a single-hole nozzle (l/d=1.0㎜/0.2㎜) into a constant-volume chamber under high pressure and temperature in order to visualize the spray phenomena. Experimental results indicate that the liquid phase length decreased down to a certain constant value in accordance with increase in the ambient gas density and temperature. The constant value, about 40㎜ in this study the, is reached when the ambient density and temperature of the used fuel exceed critical condition.
